Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

Bayer's handsome face showed a playful expression. "Ally? Tsk, since I lost my position as Lord of Avernus, I haven't heard such an invitation for a long time."

"Lord Bayer, to be honest, your reputation is somewhat bad throughout the multiverse. You are cunning and cruel. You betrayed your former mistress without hesitation and took away everything from her."

Bayer bowed again, his expression did not waver at all, and he still had a polite smile on his face.

"Your Majesty Cassius, for a pure devil, these can only be regarded as compliments."

"I believe you also know that this is not a good word for the creatures on our main material plane, but I don't care."

Cassius stretched the wings on his back, left the throne, and walked around the spacious palace, but his eyes were always fixed on the big devil.

"In the empire's diplomatic policy, we have no permanent allies or permanent enemies, only regular and permanent interests. The Ember Empire does not care about the past, camp or even the position of its allies. Whether we cooperate or not only depends on whether it can serve us bring enough benefits.”

Cassius' tone was deliberate, and he spread his broad wings completely, casting a huge shadow.

He then continued: "Whether it is a five-color dragon or a metal dragon, Heaven Mountain or Hell, as long as there are common interests and common enemies, the empire is willing to cooperate with them."

"Your Majesty Cassius, if you lived in hell, you would probably become a wise lord."

Bayer raised his head and looked into the red dragon's pale golden vertical pupils. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a cold aura.

He slowly said: "It seems like we have a common enemy."

"You guessed it right."

Cassius just nodded slightly and winked at the ogre magician next to him.

Lampton understood immediately, took out the parchment scroll from the dimensional bag, and presented it to Bayer.

Cassius added: "Since we have a common enemy, it is natural to exchange information on each other to gain a deeper understanding of the enemy."

Bayer just glanced at it, and there was a trace of imperceptible hatred in his dark pupils, and he laughed contemptuously.

"Oh, it is indeed the handiwork of that mad woman. It is such a rough and sloppy contract. She does not look like a noble and elegant devil at all, but more like a brainless devil."

After thousands of years of entanglement, Bayer and Zariel deeply hated each other. Bayer even actually "eated their flesh raw" and savored the taste of their enemies.

Cassius didn't care about their past grudges. For him, the more Bile hated Zariel, the better.

The red dragon snorted and blew out white smoke that smelled of sulfur. “My men stole this from a Thracian dignitary, and there are not many such contracts in the Thracian Kingdom.

However, compared to this bit of news from the Empire, I believe that you, who are in Avernus and have been entangled with Zariel for thousands of years, should know the situation better. "

"Of course, Your Majesty Cassius, I have always tried my best to help allies who are worthy of cooperation."

Bayer stretched out his hand, and clusters of flames shot out from it, forming an image in mid-air that exuded the aura of purgatory. The exquisite spellcasting method made Trump's eyes widen.

A rocky wasteland filled with blood rivers appeared in front of everyone. The night was dark, and occasionally blazing comets fell, leaving smoking impact craters. The empty battlefield was full of weapons and bones.

Bayer said: "I believe you also know that Avernus is the first level of hell, the battlefield of bloody battles, and the place closest to the main material plane among the nine hells."

The devil snapped his fingers, and the scene in the flames suddenly changed. A towering basalt castle appeared on the screen, decorated with some partially burned corpses.

And above the sky, there is an angel wrapped in flames and wearing tattered robes stained with blood. Her eyes are burning with a violent white light, which seems to be able to destroy everything.

Cassius stared at the terrifying figure and murmured, "This is Zariel."

Bayer said in a deep voice: "Yes, this woman is Zariel, the current Lord of Avernus, a madman obsessed with bloody battles, and also my current nominal superior."

Bair was ousted due to his poor performance in the bloody battle, disappointing Asmodeus, and was forced to serve as Zariel's advisor, so the "superiors" argument was not problematic.

Bayer continued: "Nearly a hundred years ago, Zariel began to send people to sneak into the Thracian region, but at that time, it was still part of Fadland and was divided into the base of the Angelic Legion.

I believe you also know that Zariel is a fallen Seraph. She is very interested in those arrogant, powerful angels who share a similar bloodline to hers, and even successfully seduced an angel into hell.

But at that time, the Holy Fadlan Empire was still at its peak. The old emperor declared war on Zariel without hesitation, and also led the gods to attack Avernus, forcing Zariel to hand over the The soul of the fallen made her lose face. "

Having said this, Bayer couldn't help but show a touch of joy on his face. Although he was not involved, Zarrell's failure would always make him feel happy.

Cassius was surprised: "There is such a history. The old emperor of Fadland is really powerful."

Bayer nodded, but said with some disdain: "But after all, he is an arrogant mortal, trying to replace the gods, which is really ridiculous.

As far as I know, after the collapse of Holy Fadland, the continent of Fianso was in chaos, and Zariel was also ambitious and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to grab more profits in the material plane. "

The corner of the devil's mouth raised, revealing a ferocious smile: "However, if I were still in office, I'm afraid I would have to get involved. I have to say that the current material plane is really tempting, and the war has brought us countless depravities. 's soul."

"But you were pulled from power." Cassius interrupted him mercilessly, and added coldly: "Otherwise, I'm afraid you will also become an enemy of the empire."

Bayer said with a sneer: "Of course, Your Majesty Cassius, as you said, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."

Cassius asked bluntly: "What is her ultimate goal in cooperating with the Kingdom of Thracia? The souls of those angels?"

Bayer shook his head: "No, no, no, the current angels have almost fallen, and are far from being considered noble souls, and Zariel's plans have become even crazier.

The devil looked up at the red dragon with a mysterious expression. "Her current goal is Thrace. She wants to drag the entire Thracian kingdom into hell and turn it into her own 'land of souls'"

"What a huge appetite, what a madman."

Hearing this, even Cassius was a little shocked. The Thracian Kingdom is a big country with a territory comparable to Anzeta and a population of tens of millions, and Zariel actually wants to drag the entire country into hell!

Bayer said: "After falling into hell, many souls were marked and sentenced to be owned by specific devils and harvested by them. This is the place of the devil's souls.

And if Zariel becomes the master of the Thracian Kingdom, she will have a steady stream of huge armies, and her power will grow to unimaginable levels. "

Bayer's dark eyes once again showed hatred and hatred, and his handsome face became more ferocious, almost showing the prototype of the devil.

"So, I must not let her succeed, otherwise I will never be able to turn over."

Cassius's pale golden vertical pupils were shining, and he said: "Very good, then we have reached an agreement.

The continent of Fiantho will only become the territory of the Ember Empire. Whether it is Thrace or Cassander, they will be an integral part of the empire, and any force that wants to stop this process will be ruthlessly crushed. . "

The red dragon's tone was sonorous and powerful, and his words revealed undisguised confidence. He ruled Fiansuo. In his plan, this was only the beginning of the great cause of the empire.

Bayer also said: "To be honest, I have been paying attention to you and your empire for a long time. I predicted that the Ember Empire had the idea of ​​​​invading southward, and thought that you were enough to defeat Zariel.

Even if you don't call me, I will reach out to you and be your loyal ally. "

Suddenly, Cassius asked with a half-smile: "Lord Bayer, if Zariel is defeated by me and you regain the position of Lord of Avernus, will you still support me in unifying Fianthor? "

Bayer spread his hands a little innocently and replied: "Your Majesty Cassius, I also want to give a positive answer, but even if I say so, will you really believe what I say?

As you said, there are no permanent allies. At least at this stage, I still support you. Common enemies and the same interests are the best guarantee for cooperation between the two parties, right? "

Cassius laughed twice and said cheerfully: "Hahaha, Mr. Bayer, you are right, who would believe in the integrity of a devil?

Next, let us discuss the details of cooperation and how to sign a specific contract. "

When he heard the word "contract", Baidu's eyes suddenly lit up. Nothing could excite the devil more than this, but soon, Cassius ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

Cassius said calmly: "Rump, bring up the contract we prepared in advance."

"Yes, Master."

The ogre archmage lowered his head in response, and then took out the folders he had prepared long ago from his dimensional bag. There were hundreds of pages of paper, all written with dense text.

"Alliance Treaty between the Empire and Devil Bile's Forces"

This is a contract compiled by hundreds of legal players from the Imperial Legal Department, who spent several days and stayed up late and worked overtime. The annotations alone are tens of thousands of words long, closing almost all the loopholes that could be misinterpreted by the devil.

Trump presented the contract expressionlessly: "Your Excellency Bayer, this is the contract prepared by the empire for you. Please read it carefully to avoid any mistakes."

Baidu's expression suddenly froze, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he gave a long and difficult-to-understand contract. This was a method used by the devil against mortals, but at this moment, it was actually retribution on himself.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty Cassius, what are you doing?"

Cassius said calmly: "It's just a way to ensure cooperation and promote fairness. Sir Bayer, with all due respect, I really can't believe the contract given by a devil - a devil who is notorious for betrayal."

Under the broad wings and huge body of Cassius, this reason seems particularly convincing.

Bayer also wanted to defend: "But this is not fair, you know, even in hell."

"Lord Bayer." Cassius interrupted the devil's words and said calmly: "You must know that the cooperation between you and me is not reciprocal, which means that the dominance of the Ember Empire is inevitable.

You are not irreplaceable in the eyes of the Empire. Even if they don't cooperate with you, Zariel has countless enemies in hell who also want to destroy Zariel's plan. We can always find a big devil who is willing to cooperate. But you are different, Lord Bair. Cooperating with us is your only chance to overthrow Zariel and regain control of Avernus.

The empire chose you for no overly complicated reason, just because you know Zariel better and are less of a threat than those hell lords. "

Cassius's words didn't have many ups and downs, he just stated the facts calmly.

"you"

Suddenly, Bayer gritted his teeth, and a faint anger burned in his deep eyes, but soon he realized that what the other party said was not wrong. For him now, this was the best opportunity to turn around.

All he needs to do at this moment is to regain his position as Lord of Hell as soon as possible. Other than that, the so-called dignity and face are just a joke.

What's more, devils are masters at playing with contracts. They understand the nature of contracts far better than mortals, and can easily misinterpret the terms and obtain maximum benefits from them.

Even if it is a contract made by the other party, Bayer is confident that he will become the real controller of this contract. This is the self-confidence of a big devil.

Thinking of this, Bayer took a deep look at Cassius, then bent down and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Cassius, I was a little out of control.

I will definitely take a good look at your carefully prepared contract and work tirelessly for us to achieve better cooperation. "

The former devil lord waved his hand, and hundreds of pages of paper suddenly flew up and were neatly arranged in mid-air. Bayer just touched it lightly, and the contents of the contract with millions of words appeared in his mind.

"The Bayer forces recognize and respect the leadership of the Burning Ember Empire in establishing a new order in the Fiantho continent."

"If there is a conflict with the Zariel forces, the empire and the Bair forces should assist each other with all political, economic and military means."

"Devils affiliated with Bayer's power can sign contracts with citizens of the empire, giving the recipients the power of hell."

After carefully browsing the hundreds of pages of the contract, Bayer actually felt that it was quite "fair" and there were not many unreasonable overlord clauses that could be used.

And he even discovered some loopholes in the contract——(End of Chapter)
